Abstract

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) (Herpes zoster oticus) is a cranial polyneuropathy which is caused by the reactivation of varisella zoster virus. Respectively 7, 8, 9, 5, 10, and 6 cranial nerves and the servical nerves are involved. In this syndrome, 7 cranial nerve involvement constitutes 3-12% of all facial paralysis patients. Diagnosis depends on determining the ear pain, vesiculer rush around the earlap, and facial paralysis caused sequelae. Due to skin lesions on the head and neck region and neurological symptoms, RHS was suspected. Early treatment may effect prognosis. A 65-year-old individual, with right facial paralysis and painfull ipsilateral herpetic vesicules on one side of the head and neck has been diagnosed RHS. The case has been discussed for the purpose of determining prognosis because servical dermatome involvement is rare in RHS.

Özet

Ramsay Hunt Sendromu (RHS) (Herpes zoster otikus), varisella zoster virusunun tekrarlayan aktivasyonu ile gelişen bir kraniyal polinöropatidir. Sıklık sırasına göre 7., 8., 9., 5.,10., 6. kraniyal ve servikal sinir tutulumları görülebilir. Bu sendromda 7. kraniyal sinir tutulumu, tüm fasiyal paralizili olguların %3-12sini oluşturur. Tanısı kulak ağrısı, kulak kepçesi çevresinde veziküler döküntü ve sekel bırakan fasiyal paralizi ile konur. Bu nedenle baş ve boyun bölgesindeki deri lezyonları, RHS ve ona bağlı gelişebilecek nörolojik semptomlar düşünülerek yakın takibe alınmalıdır. Altmış beş yaşındaki erkek olgu, sağ fasiyal paralizi, aynı taraf baş yarısında ve boyunda herpetik ağrılı veziküller nedeni ile RHS tanısı aldı. Olgumuz, bu sendromda servikal dermatom etkilenmesinin nadir olması ve prognozu açısından tartışıldı.
